Opening Ceremony
Celebrate 10 years of Parenting for Liberation with our anniversary exhibition, HOMEPLACE: Home as a Site of Love & Resistance for Black Families.
HOMEPLACE celebrates the beauty, complexity, and possibility of Black family life. Inspired by Black Queer feminist traditions of kinship, mutual aid, and community parenting, this exhibition celebrates parenting as an act of love, resistance, imagination, and care. Featuring 15 artists ages 14 to 40+, from across the US, HOMEPLACE is an intergenerational space that will inspire you to reflect on home as the foundation of Black liberation and explore Black futures in a new way.
